1:6
Which they have gave witness of thy love before the assembly:
whom if thou bring forward on their journey in a manner worthy of Elohim,
thou shalt do well:

1:7
Because that for His Name's sake they went forth, taking
nothing of the Goyim.

1:8
We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be
fellow-helpers to the truth.

1:9
I wrote unto the assembly: but Diotrephes, who love to have
the first position among them, receiveth us not.

1:10
Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he
doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content
therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and
forbiddeth them that would, and casteth [them] out of the
assembly.

1:11
beloved, follow not that which is ra'ah, but that which is
Tov. He that doeth tov is of Elohim: but he that doeth ra'ah hath
not seen Elohim.

1:12Demetrios hath good report of all [men], and of the truth
itself: yea, and we [also] bear record; and ye know that our
record is true.

1:13
I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen
write unto thee:

1:14
But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak
face to face. Shalom [be] to thee. [Our] friends salute thee.

Gaios - a Macedonian
(Acts 19:29) who was Paulos's host at Korintos when the letters to the
Romans was written (Rom_16:23) and was immersed with his household by Paulos
(Korintos Alef 1:14). He accompanied Paulos to Ephesios and was seized by the
mob (Acts 19:29). The association of his name with that of Arístarchos
seems to identify him with the Gaios of Derbe (Act_20:4). The Shliach Yochanan
addresses his third Epistle to someone by that name, but we do not know whether
it is the same person or not.
